He was also extremely rude to me when I met him.

You mean the ''man of the people'' guise is just a front ?

Seems perfect Labour material then

How am I supposed to believe that a millionaire former Eton schoolboy, with a wife from a titled family, who lives in a posh house in one of the most desirable postcodes in the country can possibly empathise with the issues I face in my day-to-day life?

It’s nothing personal, I’m sure you are a decent man. It’s not that I don’t think you could be a capable prime minister.

You tell us you know how difficult it is raising a family and struggling to get by. Yet you’re not mortgaged to the hilt like most of Middle England and, as a schoolboy and student, you lived a life of privilege at Eton and Oxford, where you were buddies with Boris Johnson and the rest of the posh crew.

I find this view odd. I'm not a woman and I've never been beaten by my husband, but I think I cam empathise and understand the plight of woman that have been in this situation. I've never been subjected to child labour, yet I think it's wrong. I'm not black, yet I don't accept or tolerate racism ad think I can sympathise with those that have been subjected to racism. I've not ever lost a business through bankruptcy, but I think I could empthasise with someone who has. I've never been clinically depressed, but I recognise that those who are need support and help.

I know the article above is written in a slightly tongue in cheek way, but it's basically just inverted snobbery. Would they say that someone like Alan Johnson, who was brought up by his sister on a council estate, can't understand big business, universities and 'posh stuff' because he's 'common'?

I don't think I'll be voting Tory, but it's not because they are all 'posh'. I don't really care how posh someone is.

Yes, it's rather sad when the only message is "don't vote for them, they're toffs.".

I particularly liked the "people like you shouldn't be allowed to vote" in one of the earlier posts.

Ive just discovered that the latest Labour candidate to be selected is the Hon Tristram Hunt. I wonder what posters he will be putting up.

Meanwhile the Conservative candidate is Norsheen Bhatti, who amongst other things has worked for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.

Stereotypes are what is left when the world has moved on.

This is what I mean by there being many people who still believe in Gordon Brown after the deceit of the last 13 years. It is quite extraordinary that you would think that everyone else is stupid! Who said you can't brainwash the British people? Well obviously you can. :eek:

If you could read rather than assume, i have not said at all i am a Gordon Brown fan.

Sorry, don't 'do' balance.......

Tony Blair:

a) Went to the poshest, most privileged private school in Scotland, one of the most exclusive schools in the whole U.K- Fettis School.


b) Was completely untested in government as was nearly his entire cabinet after 5 years longer in opposition.



But that was alright for him to be Prime Minister. But now everything's changed, different rules apply because.................... why exactly?

Everyone's equal and some are more equal than others. Should be the new motto of the Mirror/Labour Party.

Who cares what Ross Kemp thinks? Kind of on a par with Ken-from-Coronation-Street saying he supports the tories. Nice of them to let us know who they're going to vote for but I doubt many people actually care very much.

If we get another Labour government, we'll get another five years of erosion of civil liberties.

The real person in charge of Labour is Peter Mandelson, and for that reason alone I'd rather vote for Nick Griffin than Labour. Let me state for the record that I cannot stand the BNP, am absolutely against their racist policies. BUT Mandelson is such a snake that makes me so apoplectic with rage whenever I see him. I think he's as corrupt as it can get. Despite holding absolutely repugnant views, Griffin is honest about his position. Mandelson got sacked twice, and STILL managed to get into a position to do massive damage to the country.
I note with a wry smile that Labour are now promising a 'Cadbury Law' if they get re-elected. This is after they've let the family silver go. they had their chance and Mandelson 'accidentally' sold MG along with Rover, as well as allowing Cadbury to be sold for a pittance.

I wouldn't trust most of the Labour clowns to sit the right way on a toilet seat.

and all your views here just goto prove why people such as yourself should not get a vote in the first place.

It is only the very stupid and/or the very Tory that can blame GB for the economy over the last 18months.
It was a GLOBAL catastrophe....not just a UK one.

If you read his post you'll see he doesn't blame Brown for the global catastrophe. Foreign countries and global recession aren't responsible for our £90 billion structural deficit.

Thirdly, he's presided over a 25% collapse in the value of the £ against the US$; funny that, when he claims it all started in America!

The same man who said that a weak currency was a sign of a weak government!

Some people, as we can see here, support their party in the same tribal way a football fan supports their team.

Why do people support Labour, well self-interest certainly (especially the public sector mob), fear of the Tories, genuine belief in Labours policy program, a love for Gordon Brown (don't laugh). There are many reasons. I do not buy into any of them. Mind you I did not see how anyone could support the Tories in 97.

who are you referring to? yourself??

personally i like some of the policies of the lib dems and the greens as well as labour.
